I took some video -
At 1:30am we heard and felt a big boom. I thought it was someone jumping on top of our boat's Fly Bridge, that�s how close it sounded, my bil thought it was another renter trying to park their HB close by. We saw smoke and ran outside. That is when I took the video. You'll see a jet-ski in total flames moving towards the dock. 2 HB owners moved their boats after that, one, right in front of the Gas Dock and the other in front of the Over Night slips. At about 1:45am the first responders came with a vengeance and cut the first burning boat loose and dragged it away from the dock with a small fishing boat. At 2:30 am it looked like they had a handle on the situation so we went to sleep. This morning they said 5 boats were destroyed and many more were damaged
So many people helped out and the entire situation was handled as best as possible. I spoke to the one owner who moved to the Over Night and he said that as soon as he heard the 'explosion' as he called it; he knew a propane tank had gone off.
This morning there was a lot of debris and soot floating around A dock and two of the hulls of the boats that were destroyed were dragged to the Launch Ramp where they were still smoldering after 4 hours when I left to go to work at about 7:40am...Flo
